Question about how to buy a truck.

You don't eat the depreciation.

You're looking at this buying a truck thing all wrong.

 

Look it isn't about leasing or buying it is all about how you set up the business and how you find your work that is within your needs.

What works for one is a disaster for others.

My business model is based on purchasing, not leasing. The amount that is put into the truck during its life time used as a tool justifies it, and as a recovery asset at the end of life of the truck, I normally come out way ahead.

What gets me is the lack of understanding how a ledger works and how the need to have liquid capital in hand not just to start but to also maintain the truck. The scourge of the owner segment is the cheap owner who lives load by load, with no back up.

 

Buy a new truck scrap the automatic transmission just my two pennies
